Sales $1,500,000 Variable expenses 588,000 Contribution margin 912,000 Fixed expenses 945,000 Net operating loss $ (33,000)

Bill Dukes has $100,000 invested in a 2-stock portfolio. $50,000 is invested in Stock X and the remainder is invested in Stock Y
ohaa [14]

Answer:

the portfolio´s beta is 1.65

Explanation:

when the individual calculation of beta has been given, is possible to aggregate them as a weigthed average, so it is possible to apply te next formula

Beta Portfolio=w_{1} *\beta _{1}+ w_{2} *\beta _{2} + .... + w_{n} *\beta _{n}

where w is the weigthed value for each asset, in this particular case we have:

Beta Portfolio = \frac{50.000}{100.000}*1.50 +\frac{50.000}{100.000}*1.70

so with this result we get 1.65

In the perfectly competitive gadget industry there are 10 firms with identical costs given by C = 500 + 20q + q2, none of which
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The explanation is below

Explanation:

A.  Shutdown point is achieved when price equal AVC. when price lowers than the AVC, firm shutdown.

VC = q^2

AVC = q

So,

P = q is the shutdown point.

B.  For profit maximizing level of output,

P = MR = MC

500 = 20 + 2q

q = 240 units

So, profit maximization level of output = 240 units

C.  Firm level supply curve = MC curve above the shutdown point

Number of firms = 5

So,

Industry supply curve = 10*MC = 200+20Q

Industry supply curve = 200+20Q

It shows that MC curve above the shutdown point is supply curve.
